Easy Installation
Customers are pleased with the ease of installation of the power supply unit. They find it to be a valuable investment despite its higher price point, as it functions quietly and effectively.
Compatibility With Old Cables
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the compatibility of CORSAIR RM850x Fully Modular ATX Power Supply with old cables. While some are pleased that it is compatible with their existing Corsair PSU cables, others find it incompatible and feel misled by the product description, which they believe falsely advertises compatibility with multiple PCIe cables.
Top Mounted Connectors
Customers have a positive opinion towards the top mounted connectors of the CORSAIR RM850x Fully Modular ATX Power Supply. They appreciate the ease of use and organization it provides, as well as the availability of necessary cables for setting up their gaming rigs.

Modular Design
Customers generally appreciate the modular design of the product, which helps reduce cable clutter and improve cable management in their PC builds. However, some express disappointment that it may not be suitable for high-end systems or those who require all available ports.
Warranty And Reliability
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the warranty and reliability of the CORSAIR RM850x Fully Modular ATX Power Supply. While some report excellent performance, long hours of usage, and a good track record from their past experiences with Corsair PSUs, others have encountered issues such as sudden failures and poor quality. The 10-year warranty is appreciated by many, but the replacement process has been a concern for some customers.
Highlights
Quality
Cables appear to be of high quality.
Corsair has a good track record with ps units.
The unsleeved portion of the atx cable lets it bend around the motherboard, didn't need an extension.
Lastly, the 10 year warranty tells you what they think of the build quality, should easily last 2 or 3 builds.
Price
[got the cheaper "as new" version - and mine was actually "new"]
Overall its a great value for money.
Might be a bit more expensive, i feel it was worth it.
Packaging/appearance
Came with everything for people looking for this
Came perfectly packaged and doesn't make much noise and ive got an i9 and 3090 hooked up and never gets hot.
Competitiveness
This power supply help me save money when on sale and it performed better than i thought for 2021 model.
They also use a lot of the same cables for their psu's and it's easy to get replacement parts.
Do not use cables from a different brand.
The rm850x has an a+ on the cultists tier list and an a- from cybenetics.

Theyre wonderfully easy to reach when the panel is removed but the painfully stiff cables stick straight out toward the panel which resulted in my needing to mash them down a bit

Im not sure if in the end its necessarily any more convenient than having them on the other side would have been
